M201 - My Cyclops Extruder is defective!
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2017 12:56 am
Hi, after 6 month of trying print something on M201, try contact gearbest and Geeetech about support, finnaly I found the issue on my cyclops extruder!
When I want to find what's wrong with this printer, I found a lot of Issues, and I fixed most of them...
-X carrige doesn't reach to limit switch (fixed with plastic)
-The firmware only accept A4988 drivers, not DRV8825 (There's nothing I can do because the code isn't Open source)
-The motor mechanical parts are plastic and lose strenght and steps (fixed with new metal parts)
-Z carriage doesn't reach to limit switch (fixed with a long screwdriver)
-The repetier firmware isn't correct (You need to change some values that other owners of this machine told me)
-New EasyPrint software can't connect with the M201 (I tried in admin mode)
and finnaly, the extruder: -The cyclops extruder coagulate every time (I fixed the PTFE tube but isn't enough), tried this viewtopic.php?f=19&t=17372&start=20 and I saw that my extruder have defective chamfers:
At this moment, Gearbest refuses to send me other Extruder and said to contact Geeetech... How can I fix this?
